Behind the Lid

Behind the Lid is the story of an older woman in her 70’s who is looking back on her life through a dream; within the dream of the performance, the real memories and real dreams of this woman are revealed through the confluence of text, puppetry, music and light. As the audience takes a journey through this woman’s life, they will form their own dream, as they experience layer upon layer of her memories, of her life. The woman’s life and dreams are those of playwright Lee Nagrin. Basil Twist creates the puppetry and performs.
